    There's more to it for tanks than "what I feel I can handle". For instance, you may or may not trust your DF dps to burn through the pack before your healer runs out of mp and you run out of CDs and tp (and that both the healer and tank can be ready to pick the next pack without having to wait for stuff to fill up, which is not faster anyway). There's also how the tank feels about running the content. Tanks and healers can get really burned because they not only have to deal with some bad attitudes in groups, also the strain of keeping the group alive falls into them. There's all kind of situations happening on DF that will make you want to pull your hair off, go take a look. That combined with running the same dungeon for the 682736458723465438th time may make it a pain and different people will handle it in different ways, some may want to be done as fast as possible and others may want to take it in small doses. And there's also the chance that the tank had some bad experiences in the past with some DF groups at a particular dungeon or pull and doesn't want to take chances anymore.

    And like others have said, you want to keep being pushy on tanks? Ok, fair enough, but then don't go crying when you're on a 47 minute queue or longer as dps.
